"It was Butler Pei who asked me to do this."

As soon as the thief said that, Pei Decai, who was originally watching the fun in the corner, was shocked and stunned. He rolled and crawled, kneeling beside the thief and shouted.

"Unforgivable! Unjustly, Master Qingtian, I am just a slave from the Pei family, how can I seduce outsiders to harm the Pei family?"

He turned around and said to the thief, "I have no grudges and grudges with you, why do you frame me? I've fought with you."

Anyone who sees this expression and attitude seems to have an eternal injustice. I am afraid that it is not Dou E who is alive?

Seeing that his expression was not like a fake, he was a little unsure. He turned his ears backwards in habit, and remembered that the master was not there. He had no choice but to ask: "You thief, you said that it was Housekeeper Pei who instructed you to collude with bandits, you

There may be evidence.”

"Yes, the villain has evidence." After that, the thief took out a letter from his arms and said, "This is what Housekeeper Pei gave to me personally and asked me to hand it over to the bandit leader, saying that he would give it to me after the matter was completed.

The benefits of ten taels of silver.”

County Magistrate Tian took the letter from his servant and looked at it. However, he was so angry that he slapped the chair and said angrily: "Butler Pei, what else do you have to say? You actually revealed the truth and reality of the village to the bandits, and lured the bandits.

Attack my Wenxi County. You... you are so angry that I am so angry that I will kill you, a villain who is unjust for the court."

After speaking, he smashed the letter that had been rushing into a ball on Mr. Pei's head. He also snatched a knife from his servant, and seemed to be preparing to take action on his own and end the unfaithful and unrighteous person.

Butler Pei knelt on the ground, sweating profusely as if shaking, but he never neglected his mouth. "I'm wronged, Master Qingtian, the villain doesn't know any bandit leader, and has never written a letter. The villain wants to confront him.

.

You thief, when did I give you a letter? Why did you definitely give it to you?"

"Yes...yes...last night, last night, last night,"

"Absolutely, you thief, you've just leaked the handle. I've been discussing big things with the master last night. How could I meet you? How could I hand over the letter to you with my own hands? The master can testify about this matter.

.

"He turned around and kowtowed to Mr. Pei, "Master, for my decades of hard work in the Pei family, you want to testify for me!"

Magistrate Tian looked at Master Pei suspiciously and said, "Brother Pei, is what he said the truth?" "Don't cover him up just because he has little achievements." Magistrate Tian was a little worried and added.

Mr. Pei, named Pei Zhiyuan, is derived from the meaning of "Huainanzi: Master's Skills and Stories", which means that he will concentrate on his mind and take the imperial examinations wholeheartedly, and don't think about it.

However, I have been taking the imperial examination several times over the past few decades, and in the end I will be a scholar, otherwise I would not have followed the advice of a county magistrate.

After repeated failures, even he himself almost gave up in recent years. However, he didn't read the book, but he read it in his mind and made his mind broken. He felt that he was not satisfied with his talent every day, and it was hard to find a man.

The decline of the Pei family in recent years has something to do with him. However, he is kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have let the surrounding tenants hide in the farm and lend the grain to the tenants.

Seeing that the magistrate Tian asked, Pei Zhiyuan did not dare to neglect, so he quickly bowed and said, "Return to the county master, students can testify. Last night, Pei Decai was discussing plans with the students to get rid of the enemy, and there was no time to separate."

The thief knelt on the ground and was shocked when he heard Pei Zhiyuan's answer. He murmured, "No, that person is obviously Butler Pei, clearly that's it! You must be lying, yes, it must be.

”

Seeing his appearance, Tian Magistrate was immediately full of suspicion of his confession and said, "I dare to deceive the county. If someone comes, I will continue to beat me. I will tell the truth."

He agreed to the left and right and wanted to pull the thief to continue the execution. "Stop, can the county master ask the villain to ask him a few words?" But it was Pei Decai.

County Magistrate Tian immediately frowned, a little impatient, and said, "What's there to ask? A shameless villain like this should be punished." Seeing Mr. Pei standing there again, he changed his mind and said, "Ask."

, ask. Humph”

Seeing that the county master agreed, Pei Decai knew that the opportunity was rare and could not be wasted. He immediately asked, "You said I handed the letter to you, why are you so sure?"

"That person is wearing your clothes. Can you still be someone else if it's not you?"

"That is, you didn't see my face, you only saw that man wearing my clothes, and you infer that the man was me?"

"The lights were dim at that time, and the voice of the man talking... was also..." The thief said, suddenly realizing a problem. The man's voice was not the same as that of Butler Pei. Although it was a little similar, it could be distinguished.

The two people, but he didn't pay attention.

He fell into great fear and his body trembled involuntarily.

Suddenly he kowtowed violently, and the blood stained the floor red. "The villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know, Master Qingtian, please spare your life."

Pei Decai ignored him, picked up the letter on the ground, rubbed the letter twice. Suddenly he handed the letter to Mr. Pei and said, "Master, this is not the paper of our Pei family. Our Pei family has never bought it so well.

paper.”

Pei Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to these trivial matters at first. After hearing what Pei Decai said seriously, he took the paper in his hand and rubbed it twice.

As if I had thought of something, Pei Zhiyuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He said with difficulty: "We have this kind of paper, but there are not a few pieces of paper. This kind of paper was brought by a few when the wife's nephew came, and it took only two days.

It's understandable that you haven't seen it before."

Taking a deep breath, Pei Zhiyuan turned his head and ordered Chen Chao who was standing aside. "Chen Chao, go and bring Liu Sheng here."

Soon, a young man with a confused look on his face was taken to the hall. When he saw Pei Zhiyuan, he was still stupidly asking what was wrong.

Pei Zhiyuan ignored him and asked the thief, "Is he who gave the letter to you?"

The thief looked up tremblingly and looked at Liu Sheng who was brought over. He felt that his height, fat and thinness were 600% similar, and his voice was somewhat similar.

But at this time he dared not tell the difference carefully. He was like a drowning person, and he would catch whatever he had. "It was him, it was him."

Seeing the situation, Magistrate Tian reversed within a few words, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you sure? You have to know that false accusations are the same, you have to think clearly."

"Little man, I saw it this time, and I will never make a mistake." The thief vowed to make a promise, and he didn't realize he had missed it just now.
